In 2022, the electricity production in Cyprus was almost monopolized by one electric utility. A similar situation was observed in Croatia, France, and Slovakia, where the leading electricity producer of the country controlled over 70 percent of the market. In contrast, the highest competition in the electricity generation sector was in Italy, Poland, and Lithuania. In 2022, the market share of the major electricity producer in Italy amounted to just 18 percent in 2020.
